I'm still a bit unsure whether or not I will be getting Skyrim next month. I'm not a big Elder Scrolls fan and I've been told that it's best to play it on PC, but I don't have anything good enough to run it...or do I?

Skyrim Minimum System Requirements are:

Operating System: XP/Vista/7
CPU: Dual Core 2GHz
Memory: 2GB RAM
Video card: DX9c, 512MB RAM

Wow, that's really not that bad, I might be able to run it...but what about...the Recommended Requirements?

 

Well, the Recommended System Requirements look a little something like this:

Operating System: XP/7
CPU: Quad-Core Intel/AMD
Memory: 4GB RAM, 6GB HD
Video card: DX9 1GB RAM (GTX 260/Radeon 4890 or higher)

 

Okay that's a bit more intensive and expensive, but still for those of you out there who have an amazing computer and Steam (or other methods like those things called stores), you will be enjoying the game on November 11th.

Spectacular? Most gaming PCs have had those specs for 2 years.

What about those specs are intensive or expensive?

The Geforce 260 is an upper mid-range GPU from 2008. You can get cards in the low to mid $100s today that will beat it.

4GB RAM cost about $25.

HDD requirements are very low compared to other current games (e.g.: Rage and Battlefield 3 both require over twice that.)

Most real PC gamers prolly already have adequate hardware. Besides, not all dual cores and quad cores are the same, architecture will prolly be just as important as number of cores.

Pff the Specs are weak, i was expecting more, i guess the 360 port is true.

I wish they would atleast try to kater to pc gamers more. Like better dx11 support for one, i'm some what disappointed.

I bet though its highly polished and glitch free eh, unlike Oblivion was when it first launched. Hopefullly that would be the case :-)

I Pre ordered the collectors edition and i can't wait :D

Just because the specs are high as hell doesn't make it a console port, actually the opposite, console ports tend to have higher requirements with exceptions of a few.

i really need to upgrade my processor with an i7 processor which clocks at 2.6GHz. so i can play more of this kind of games and also open world games like GTA IV, LA Noire, and Saints Row The Third

I guess this is what happens when you design a triple A title to max out on the hardware of a 6 year old console and then feed the leftovers as a port to PC gamers.

Thank god for the modding community I guess.
